With $14,000 Raised at Pink Pint Night, Hopkinton Public Library Foundation Tops $500,000 for the Renovation and Expansion of Hopkinton Public Library

Just days ahead of the Town Election on Monday, May 19, where Hopkinton residents will be asked to fund the renovation and expansion of the Library, Hopkinton Public Library Foundation achieved the extraordinary fundraising milestone of $500,000 in gifts and pledges in pursuit of its $1,000,000 goal.
